Business card for photographer & videographer

My university background is in business. I have a Bachelor and Master degree in these fields.

Zacuto Rapid Fire review

Here it is guys, my review of the Zacuto Rapid Fire! I still have not used with it enough to feel like I have toped out but I have played enough to give it a fair critic. An updated version will come out once I get my Zfinder. Usability I had a hard time to make up my mind between ...
